House, 11 Wesley Street, is a typical limestone and iron single storey house dating from 1903. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the South Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
Single storey limestone, brick and iron cottage with a symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with brick quoins. The roof hipped with no eaves and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under separate corrugated iron bullnose roof with square timber posts and decorative cast iron brackets and frieze. The front facade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed windows either side. There is a rendered masonry fence to the front boundary and a small garden area behind.
Wesley Street was originally called Russell Street. The name was changed in 1901. House, 11 Wesley Street was built between 1900 and 1905. In 1905/06, Florence and Richard Simmons were the owners and occupants. Richard was a driver. William Simmons was listed as the occupant in 1910/11. James Williams owned House, 11 Wesley Street from c. 1915 until his death c. 1934. Ownership then passed to Clara Williams, who sold it Edith Jenkins c. 1947. It was a rental property throughout this time. Edith Jenkins owned and lived at 11 Wesley Street until the early 1960s, when she sold the house to Giuseppe Ciavarra. Mr Ciavarra, who became an Australian citizen in 1971, owned the house until 1976, and it has had a number of owners since that time.
